The Pennsylvania Gaming Control Board announced that table games revenue at the 11 casinos exceeded $59 million in January and generated tax revenue of nearly $9 million.

The number of tables was also up to 1,026, an increase from 962 a year ago.

The Sands casino in Bethlehem led the state, reporting nearly $14 million in table games revenue last month. The next highest were Parx in Bensalem, $10 million; SugarHouse in Philadelphia, $7 million; and Rivers in Pittsburgh, $6 million.

Overall casino revenue, when slot machines were factored in, was almost $248 million in Pennsylvania last month. That represents a year-over-year increase of just below 2 percent.

The state’s casinos brought in more than $3.1 billion last year, thanks in part to $687 million in table games proceeds. The industry brought the state $1.4 billion in tax revenue.
